DRINK PLENTY OF WATER EVERY DAY

In preparation for your first Cleanse Day, let's talk H2O. You know water is key to good health, but did you know that water is a vital when it comes to cleansing impurities and support weight loss?

Your body gets rid of impurities in several different ways: Through elimination, perspiration and breath (that's why cardiovascular exercise is essential to Nutritional Cleansing!). Water vital to cleansing for the obvious reason—it helps your body remove impurities naturally.

Your body is about two-thirds water. When you don't get enough water, you become dehydrated. Dehydrated cells don't function as well as hydrated cells. And if they aren't working properly, then your cells may not be removing impurities efficiently, which affects the body's overall health.

Water is also important to weight loss. A buildup of impurities in your body may affect how well your metabolism works. Water can also help quell hunger pangs for short periods of time.

Bottom line: Drink plenty of water each and every day. Here’s an easy way to calculate your daily requirement of water in ounces—just cut your body weight in half. A person who is 150 pounds should drink 75 ounces of water, while a 200-pound person should drink 100 ounces.

And FYI, if you exercise vigorously or live in a very hot region, your water requirements might be even higher.

Keep a water bottle with you at all times: In the car, at work and always while exercising. Make a conscious effort to drink from your bottle every 10-15 minutes, even if you're not thirsty. Some experts believe that when you experience thirst, you're already dehydrated. So, keep chugging that water throughout the day.
